an old episode on Sky One right now, reviewing "The Great Escape" on PS2 (i think that's what it was on.. doesn't matter really)...

anyway, you know how they have game footage with them talking over the top??
well this just happened:

presenter: "just like to take a minute to talk about the AI in this game. the AI controls all the non player characters and will keep you on your toes, it really is some of the best AI in a game to date"

(i may have paraphrased slightly, but that's essentially the gist of it and he definately said it'd "keep you on your toes")

now, here's what happened on the screen as he said that:

player is crouched down outside a hut, no cover, no hiding, just crouching. a guard turned the corner and simply walked straight towards... and then past him.
i fail to see how not "seeing" an undisguised, unhidden player right infront of you constitutes decent AI :)

This is true. But a song and dance is the next best thing. Probably.

Make sure you do mate, it's superb.

If I told you there was a Song and Dance at the end of a Samurai flick, would you see it that much sooner. ;-D

Sorry guys, was disappointed with BR2 myself. I found the first-half of it fairly good going, but the second-half just didn't do anything for me. I can't see it being released in the West for reasons that will come apparent when you see it.

However, I would recommend Kitano 'Beat' Takeshi's Zaitoichi, which is a superb Samurai flick or the excellent Versus, which I'm sure some of you have already seen.

Shocking.

Even more shocking is that you have the catalogue under your bed for 'special time'. ;D
